NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of immune response; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and response to bacterium. Acts upstream of or within acute inflammatory response; defense response to virus; and regulation of inflammatory response. Located in interphase microtubule organizing center; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Part of NLRP3 inflammasome complex. Is active in membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study CINCA Syndrome; familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1; and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CINCA Syndrome; Muckle-Wells syndrome; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 34; familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1; and urticaria. Orthologous to human NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025] |
